Portfolio Task 4


Mass Media
The mass media can make great influence in shaping people’s ideas and some people agree whereas others disagree with this statement. In this essay I will write about agreement and disagreement with the statement.
I agree with the statement because nowadays mass media like television, radio and newspaper has become something they can’t live without and it makes a big difference in people’s ideas. Many people change they ideas because of an actor they saw on TV or a singer the love to listen to, for example some people may watch an action movie and at the future they can be very dangerous to the people around or the society they are living on, that’s because the way they think has been changed and the ideas has become a part of that movie they saw.
 On the other hand, I disagree with the statement because family, school and college stand against changing in people’s ideas. Parents’ plays big part in keeping their children under control and school also can keep the ideas as the parents want by teaching. On the other hand I think it is hard to change an idea or a behavior from mass media because when someone grows up with specific idea or behavior it take a long time to get rid of the old behave.
In conclusion, I think mass media can affect people’s ideas only if the power of family, school and college was poor.
